Same plant: From harvest back to veg (for clone cuttings)?

[Lewisbeattie]

Can I take my favourite plant from my grow, which I grew from seed, and put veg nutes on it with 18/6 lightning, and grow healthy clone cuttings this way? Or does going through flower compromise the legitimacy of any clones that later come from that plant?
sincere regards,
lewis

Lewisbeattie I have successfully done what you are describing. I had 5 Blue Dream fems. At harvest, I selected the best for my mother and left some foliage on it to give it a head start on reveg. The reveg took about 3 weeks before the plant began to grow normally. I gave it another week before cutting clones. The clones all took root quickly (using the regular cloning protocols) and grew strongly. I didn't want to keep the mother long term, so gave it a couple more weeks to fill out then flipped its lighting back to 12/12 and took a second harvest from it. The clones all produced well, although not quite as good as the first harvest on the mother. I was pleased with the process and would do it again if the situation warranted.

Yes you can do it. Takes months to start looking like she's ready but if you got a spare corner with warmth an light go for it.

Read this https://www.growweedeasy.com/re-veg-monstercropping . I reveged all 3 totes 2 plants in each last summer after harvest. Elected to remove 1 plant from the White Widow tote due to reveg being out of balance and knowing one plant would be ready for flowering before the other had filled out. I took clones from the White Rhino tote just before switching to flower. I later lost the one White Widow I kept to rot in the stem but was able to take clones from it. When Starting the reveg lights are on 24/7 till I seen new growth then dropped back to 18/6. The more green ie leafs or airy buds the better the reveg seemed to go from my experience of how the 6 different plants progressed through reveg.
